and journey as the reader continues through the book.

Coupled with the beautiful and striking images of Johnson's sculptures, the book is the perfect companion for any admirer of sculpture and art.

From The Sculpture Foundation website: "The Sculpture Foundation, Inc. is a private operating foundation dedicated to
providing exhibitions and contemporary landmark public artworks for a broad range of communities including urban centers, small towns, regional parks and cultural institutions."

From the Seward Johnson: The Retrospective website: "Following an early career as a painter, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of
sculpture. Since then, more than 450 of Johnson's life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections and museums in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as
prominent places in the public realm such as Rockefeller Center, Pacific Place, Hong Kong, Les Halles in Paris, and Via Condotti in Rome. Seward Johnson initially became widely known for his
sculptures depicting people engaged in every day activities. The artist continues to add to this series. Johnson’s desire to highlight the mundane in his Celebrating the Familiar sculpture series has
brought a unique voice to the world of art in public spaces."
